Default pruning in Pacific North West

I have incredibly over grown grape vines, & Kiwi. Kiwi is old, bears tons of
fruit. I am wondering if it is too late to prune now, for fear of bleeding.
We just had frost a week ago. Any help would be appreciated.


Generally, it is recommended to prune these vines in winter (November -
February) while they are dormant. I think you can still get by pruning now,
although the grape may bleed some. You can cut back both pretty hard - they are
both very vigorous vines. FYI, frost really has no bearing on this process.
